Geometry of Grief: Reflections on Mathematics, Loss, and Life (Geometriya Skorbi)
26.90£
'Michael Frame (b. 1951), a mathematician, former Yale professor, and colleague of fractal theory founder Benoit Mandelbrot, explores the phenomenon of grief from a geometric perspective in his book. We grieve the loss of a loved one, a pet, a former way of life—something beloved and important to us. How can fractals, trajectories, and variables lessen this emotional pain? According to Frame, understanding the 'geometry' of one's experiences can help one cope with loss. Analyzing grief as an irreversible loss, he turns to the laws of mathematics, literary plots, evolutionary biology, and personal experience. With their help, Frame derives his own theorems that allow us to see and analyze the complex patterns of feelings that make up grief through the 'self-similarity' of life choices, the theory of the multiverse, and the projection of negative emotions onto different 'spaces' of consciousness.'
